2 HEAD COACH RITCHIE McKAY Ritchie McKay was named the seventh men s basketball head coach on March 26, Liberty marks McKay s fifth head coaching stint, and his first east of the Mississippi, after stops in the Big Sky, Mountain West, Pac-10 and WAC conferences. McKay, 42, comes to Liberty from New Mexico, where he spent five seasons at the helm of the Lobos basketball program ( ), highlighted by a Mountain West Conference (MWC) championship in With a 26-7 record, the conference championship earned New Mexico its first NCAA Tournament appearance in six years and the program s first conference title since Overall at New Mexico, McKay sported an coaching record over five seasons, including the 2005 campaign, where the team s 26 victories were the second-highest total in program s 103-year history. McKay posted a record (.627) at Colorado State, which included a 1999 National Invitational Tournament (NIT) berth. The Rams defeated Mississippi State and in-state rival Colorado at the event, before losing to eventual NIT Tournament champion California. The season featured the first year of play for CSU in the Mountain West Conference, and the Rams logged an record and a fourth-place conference finish. A pair of victories over nationally-ranked opponents - the first time the program had accomplished the feat at Colorado State in a decade - and capturing the title at the second annual Pearl Harbor Classic in Hawaii were some of the highlights during the season. College Hoops Insider magazine noticed the success of the 2000 Rams and tabbed McKay as its MWC Coach of the Year. Before arriving on the Colorado State campus, McKay began his head coaching career when he was named the head coach at Portland State. McKay started with the Vikings in 1995, helping revive a program which had been dormant for 15 years. McKay led the program to nine victories in the school's first season of competition ( ) since the early 1980s. After the initial season at Portland State, McKay was named one of six finalists for the Clair Bee Award, given annually to the coach with the most influence and innovation in the game of basketball. Two other finalists for the honor that year were Dean Smith of North Carolina and Mike Krzyzewski of Duke. The Portland State team followed with a mark and a third-place finish in the Big Sky Conference.

Rell Porter Has Eye on 100 Career Games Senior Rell Porter has currently played in 97 contests during his Liberty career. The Liberty record for games played is 122, set by Larry Blair last year. Porter will become the 25th player in program history to appear in 100 career games. Should Porter appear in every game this year, he will reach 120 during the quarterfinal of the Big South Championship, which would place him tied for second with Karl Hess ( ) and Steve Isaacs ( ). The Big South record is 123, set last season by Winthrop s Craig Bradshaw and Philip Williams. Flames Facing New Foes This Year Liberty's season opener against San Diego State was the first game of four this season versus an opponent that Liberty had never previously faced. In addition to the Aztecs, Liberty s non-conference schedule has or will pit the Flames up against Portland, Coker and Nyack, all first-time Liberty opponents on the hardwood. Big South Highs Liberty shot 61.7 percent (29-of-47) from the floor on Saturday against Niagara and 57.9 percent (33-of-57) on Nov. 27 against Longwood. Those numbers serve as the top two shooting performances of any Big South squad this season. Shooting 60 Percent or Higher Liberty shot 61.7 percent (29-of-47) from the floor on Saturday against Niagara. That was the first time Liberty has reached the 60 percent mark since Feb. 21, 2007 at VMI (64.4). The Flames reached 60 percent shooting in three games last season. This season the reached the number in game no. 8, but didn t register a 60 percent shooting contest till game no. 21 last season. Alex McLean Grabbing the Boards Senior Alex McLean grabbed 8.9 rebounds per game last season. The figure was the best rebounding season by a Flame since Jason Dixon grabbed 9.0 caroms per contest during the 1995 campaign.

10 McKay Inks Highly Anticipated Recruiting Class In his first recruiting class at Liberty, head men s basketball coach Ritchie McKay and staff have signed Seth Curry, Brolin Floyd, Sammy Jackson, Mike Lewis, Carter McMasters and Austin Smith to national letters of intent for the academic year. I can t remember ever having a class like the one we were able to attract our first year at Liberty, said McKay, who has been a head coach in the Pac-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and Big Sky Conferences. Typically it takes a little bit of time to establish yourself in an unfamiliar region of the country, added McKay. What Liberty University offers a student-athlete is really reflected in the caliber of the individual and the caliber of the player we were able to sign. Curry is the son of one of the NBA s most prolific three-point shooters, Dell Curry. A 6-0 combo guard from Charlotte, N.C., Curry has been a huge piece to Charlotte Christian s success over the past few years. As a junior, Curry averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game for a team that had four starters in double figures in scoring. Last season, Curry shot 50 percent from the field, earning CISAA all-conference honors. In his three years on the varsity squad, Charlotte Christian has amassed an record, reaching the state final in Floyd hails from Ocala, Fla., and plays for Shores Christian School. As a junior, the 6-5, 210- pound guard, averaged 17.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.2 steals, leading Shores Christian to the NACA National Championship game. Jackson is a 6-5 forward out of Jacksonville Junior College in Jacksonville, Texas. The Arlington, Texas native is currently playing his second year of junior college ball, after prepping at Bowie High School. Lewis signs with the Flames out of Charis Prep in Goldsboro, N.C., the same prep school Where Liberty s Armon Jones spent the 2006 season. Lewis, a 5-7 guard from Upper Marlboro, Md., was a four-year starter at Suitland, averaging 18.4 points, 7.0 assists and 3.0 steals per game as a senior. Lewis led Suitland to a 22-5 record as a senior, falling in the regional championship game to Eleanor Roosevelt, McMasters hails from Chattanooga, Tenn., where he will be a 2008 graduate of Grace Academy. The 6-11 forward averaged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocks per game as a junior at Grace, helping his team to the regional finals. The all-state honoree alters the game, evident by his 20 shots redirected last season. Smith, a 6-9 forward from Tucson, Ariz., transferred to Ironwood Ridge from Mountain View. While at Mountain View as junior, Smith averaged 11.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
